USC 1432 - Legumes, Crop Ecophysiology, Agroecology (LEVA)

With a strong background in agronomy, plant ecophysiology, soil biology and statistics, the multi-disciplinary team develops research questions in the field of agro-ecology. In a context of climate change and ecological intensification, LEVA is interested in the management of innovative and productive cropping systems, in particular to improve nitrogen autonomy and reduce dependence on herbicides.
